Kagome narrating
'Mysterious/unknown voice' that only Kagome can hear
Recap: "We understand just fine, hentai." we both replied. Miroku sighed again. Just then the bell rang, and we began to head towards the entrance. As a walked I saw Inuyasha standing at the gate of the human portion of the school, before he turned and ran off the the youkai part.
"......Jerk........" I whispered before running inside. I entered my first period class where I sat with my first best friend, besides Inuyasha: Bara, Izumi.
We have known each other since the first year of elementary school and have been friends ever since I helped her with her reading studies.
"Izumi." I said while taking my seat. She smiled right back.
"Gu-tenmorugen, Kagome." she said. We began to talk about the history assignment he had to do, when Jaken-sensei walked in.
Jaken-sensei was a youkai, but at least he didn't try to eat anyone, and he was a loyal follower to the Takahashi family's eldest son: Takahashi, Sesshomaru. So he won't harm anyone. I think........
"Gu-tenmorugen, class. Take out your math books and we will start the oshie." he ordered. Everyone did as they were told and we began class.
'You can't escape the truth behind your memories...........'
Chapter 2: Normal Day
The bell rang to signify that class was over and it was time for lunch. Izumi and I walked outside and went over to the table we normally sat at.
This table was right near the fence that divided the two portions of the school. I liked sitting here so I could keep an eye on the humans, youkai, and hanyou. Since I was one of the school protectors.
"Kagome-chan! Izumi-san!" someone shouted. We looked up to see Sango and Miroku coming over. We waved. The two joined us at the table.
"Hey guys." I said with a smile.
"Hi. How were your classes?" Miroku asked.
"They were fine." Izumi replied. Izumi and I had every class together while I only had two with Sango and one with Miroku. I began to look through my bag. After a few moments I sighed.
"What's wrong Kagome-chan?" Sango asked me. I sighed again.
"Aww. Squirt forgot her lunch again." Shiki said as he sat at the table next to ours. Kira sat across from him.
"Shut up Shiki......And don't call me Squirt!" I shouted/stated. He laughed. Kira held his lunch out to me but I declined it. "No thanks." He was unsure for a moment but then began to eat anyway. I sat there while everyone ate around me.
'Baka, baka, baka, baka. I'm such a baka!' I thought while I slammed my head against the table. Everyone stared at me. "Owwwwwwww." I said after a few moments. My friends chuckled nervously. Just then we heard what sounded like someone climbing the fence. Right when we were about to look up Yuri landed on the center of the table. Miroku screamed and fell off his chair. We all looked at him. Sango sighed.
"Really Miroku. How the heck did that scare you? You're one of the Muttsu Hogosha!" She said in a bored tone. I stood up and helped Yuri down from the table.
"Yuri, what are you doing? You're not suppose to be on this side of the courtyard." I asked/stated. Yuri smiled.
"I know that Onee-san, but I thought you might want this." she said while holding up her arm. In her hand was my lunch. A huge smile appeared on my face and I tackled Yuri into a hug.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're the best little sister in the world!" I exclaimed. Yuri laughed and we stood up. Shiki rolled his eyes.
"Are you such a baka that you need our little sister to bring you your lunch?" Shiki asked. I glared at him.
"Shut the Hell up Shiki! You're such a jerk!" I shouted. Yuri and Kira chuckled nervously while my friends just started laughing their heads off. Just then we all heard a disgusted laugh. We all turned around to see Tama, Kikyo.
"Why the hell is one of the stupid blue uniformed kids on our side?" She asked while looking at Yuri in disgust. Yuri shied away from her. I growled.
This annoying witch is Tama, Kikyo. She is one of the richest girls at Shikon Academy. She has long black hair and stormy grey eyes. Kikyo is one of the worst people at the school. She makes herself feel even better about herself by making others feel worse. I hate her. And I also hate her because Inuyasha-sama has a huge crush on her.
I moved in front of Yuri and glared at Kikyo. "I thought the loser students were on the other side of the fence." she glanced at my friends and myself. "Though it appears they missed some." she stated and then started laughing. I growled.
"Shut up Kikyo." I growled. She glared at me.
"Don't think just because you're Head Master Hitomi's daughter that you can tell me what to do, bookworm." She replied with a smug grin. I moved closer to her.
"Well, I don't tolerate people making fun of my sister." I stated. Before I could react Kikyo smacked me. 'She really shouldn't have done that.' Next thing everyone knew, the two of us were on the ground fighting. Even though Kikyo wasn't much of a fighter. A huge group of kids surrounded us and started to cheer for who they wanted to win. Even some of the youkai had come. Yuri, Izumi and Kira kept trying to get us to stop but we didn't listen.
"Kagome-chan!" Inuyasha shouted. He ran up and grabbed me while Kira grabbed Kikyo. The two restrained us from fighting. Kikyo glared at me and I glared right back. Just then I was pulled away from Inuyasha. I looked up to see a guy with short black hair and green eyes.
"Taruto-kun?" I asked. He just continued to glare at Inuyasha.
"Don't touch her." He growled out.
Taruto is another childhood friend of mine. He was a very gentle person, who was abnormally tall for his age. The only problem is; he and Inuyasha-sama can't stand each other. Just like Sango-chan, Miroku-sama, and myself he is one of the Muttsu Hogosha, except if he was allowed he'd kill all the youkai and hanyou. That is the only harsh, cruel thing about him. You see, he came to the academy seven years ago when he was ten and he was adopted by one of the sensei here. So his name is Rosuto, Taruto. He hates all youkai and hanyou, because his entire family was killed by a youkai. The only reason he survived was because he wasn't home at the time of the attack. So in short he hates youkai.
"I don't have to listen to you, Rosuto-kun." Inuyasha stated. Taruto's grip on my arm tightened.
Oh, I also forgot to mention. Because of Taruto's abnormal size many people were afraid of him. So I was his first friend. Which makes him extremely protective of me.
"Ow! Let go of my arm!" I shouted and Taruto released me. The group that had surrounded us were still chanting but this time for Inuyasha and Taruto.
"What's going on here?!" someone shouted. The crowd ran off in all different directions leaving only Inuyasha, Taruto, Sango, Miroku, Yuri, Shiki, Kira, Izumi, Kikyo, and myself. When we looked over we saw Head Master Takahashi standing there. And he didn't look to happy with us. Kikyo then started to cry even though we all knew she was faking.
"Oh Head Master Takahashi. Hitomi-san started to beat me up without even a reason and then her friends joined in as well. It was terrible." she said pretending to sob. I growled.
"Liar! That's not what happened!" I shouted. Head Master Takahashi sighed.
"Hitomi-san, Tama-san. To my office now." he ordered. Kikyo rolled her eyes and headed in the direction of the school, I followed after. "The rest of you, to class now." The rest of the group left. I noticed both Inuyasha and Taruto stayed a moment, both watching me leave, before leaving.
In The Office
Kikyo and I sat in chairs opposite to the desk and Head Master Takahashi stood looking out the window behind it. After a long silence he sighed and sat down. "What am I going to do with you two? It seems you get into fights more than anyone else at this school." He stated while looking at both of us.
"Well, I wouldn't fight with her if she stopped insulting my sister." I growled. Kikyo then put on an innocent face.
"I have no idea what she's talking about Head Master." she replied. Head Master Takahashi sighed.
This wasn't the first time Tama-san and I had gotten into a fight. Actually to be honest I lost count of how many fights we've been in. So this was pretty much all to familiar to us.
"There you two go again. Both having two different stories and neither of you agreeing on anything, so once again I have to punish you both. Tama-san, you will have to clean the main entrance." InunoTaisho said.
"What!?" Kikyo shouted. Inunotaisho then turned to me.
"Hitomi-san, you'll be cleaning your homeroom classroom after school for a week. So now both of you have even punishments, so you may leave." he finished. Kikyo stormed out of the room while I just walked slowly. I closed the door once I left. I heard him sigh. With that I headed to my class.
Normal POV
InunoTaisho sighed and pulled out a folder from his desk. He opened it and put another paper into it. Afterwards he got up and looked out the window and watched as the two girls went out to the field for gym. He heard someone sigh behind him. "Do you have to be so harsh on her?" asked the person.
"Yes Iziyo. It is the only way for her to learn her lesson." he replied to his wife. Iziyo came over and joined him at the window.
"But you know just as well as I do, how protective Kagome is of Yuri." she explained.
"I know that. But if I let her off the hook because she is our son's best friend and because she was standing up for her sister then it would seem like I'm picking favourites and that just isn't fair." Inunotaisho stated as he watched the gym class. "Besides, it's not like I enjoy giving Kagome punishments. I care about her too.............and also, I still have that promise I have to keep."
"Yes I know." Iziyo replied. She put her head on his shoulder and the two just watched the gym class. Well to be more correct they were both watching Kagome.
Gym Class
I ran around the track field doing the laps like the rest of the class. Even though I was two laps behind I already was catching up pretty quickly.
That is one of the odd things about me. I am a normal human except for three major things. First off, I can run a heck of a lot faster then the other students in my class, and run great distances without getting tired. Secondly, I have a lot more strength then an ordinary human should. Thirdly, my five senses are greater than that of a normal person. That's also excluding the fact that I'm a miko and a Muttsu Hogosha.
Everyone had finished there laps besides Kikyo and myself. I had one lap left while she had three. When I was done I went over and joined the rest of the class.
After Classes
I entered my dorm to see Sango and Izumi were already there. "Hey guys." I said as I dropped off my bags.
"Hey." they both said at the same time. I quickly went in my room and changed my clothes then headed towards the door.
"Oh Sango-chan. I'm going to be a little late tonight so don't wait up." I said and she nodded. When I reached for the knob a dark figure appeared in my mind. I froze. Both Sango and Izumi ran over to me.
"Kagome-chan, are you okay?...........Kagome-chan?" they both asked. After a few moments I snapped out of it. I quickly put on my normal smile.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Sorry to worry you. See ya later." I said. Before either of them could stop me, I was out the door and on my way to home room.
'You can't escape your past. It will come back..............Forgotten memories are a part of your heart.'
That Evening
I ran outside to find Sango, Miroku, Taruto, Shiki, and Kira all waiting for me. "Sorry I'm late you guys." I said as I came to a stop next to them. Shiki glared at me.
"About time Squirt. Did you have fun cleaning the classroom?" he asked smugly. I punched him in the arm. "OW!"
See what I mean? Shiki is two years older then me and with just one small punch I can make him say ow. Some nii-sama huh?
"Serves you right." I stated crossing my arms and turning away from him. He growled.
"Why you little." He started but Kira stopped him.
"Come on you two. We have to start our patrols now." Kira said. We all nodded and headed off to the part of the school grounds we were watching. I sat up in the highest tree just watching for any youkai, or for any human who was outside at this time of night. I sighed.
"This job is so boring sometimes." I said to no one in particular. A hour passed yet still nothing happened. Just then my walke-talkie beeped.
"Hello, Kagome-chan. You there?" Taruto asked. I unhooked it from my belt.
"Yeah I'm here. What's up?" I questioned.
"It's pretty quiet on my end. What about yours?" he asked. I sighed.
"Same here. All I have been doing is sitting in a tree and keeping my guard up." I replied. Just then I heard a noise behind me. "Hold on. I think I have something." I stated. Before I could even react, I was knocked out of the tree and I hit the ground hard. When I stood there was a bear youkai standing in front of me.
"Kagome-chan, what is it?" Taruto asked. I didn't reply, because if I let my guard down for even a sec I was dead meat, literally. I went to grabbed Tsuki, but before I knew what was happening the bear youkai was in front of me. I quickly pulled out Tsuki, but the bear youkai back-handed me with all it's strength. Which sent me flying into a tree and caused Tsuki to fall out of my grasp. Blood began to run down from my forehead.
"Kuso." I cursed under my breath.
"Kagome-chan! What's going on?!...Kagome-chan!" Taruto shouted. I grabbed my walke-talkie.
"I am a little busy with a....." I was cut off by the bear youkai, who once again hit me with all it's strength knocking me into the wall that surrounded the school. I had screamed before hitting the wall, so Taruto probably heard that.
"Kagome-chan!................Kagome-chan!.................KAGOME-CHAN!!" Taruto shouted. I held my side as I leaned against the wall. The bear youkai was slowly approaching me, and I was in too much pain to move. I heard the youkai chuckle darkly.
"What's the matter? In too much pain to fight back?" It asked in an evil tone. I growled. My vision began to blur.
'Oh no. Not now.' I thought frantically. The bear youkai was still approaching me.
"Then if that's the case let me eat you." It said as it began to run towards me. My eyes widened. In my head the memory of that snake like youkai that tried to eat me appeared in my head. The youkai jumped on me and went to bite my head, but on pure instinct I put my arm in the way. The bear youkai bit down hard and blood dripped on my face. That was the only thing I did.
You see, I am a great fighter. Mostly because of the Takahashis and my family taught me how to fight. But no matter how much fighting skill I have, it can not get rid of my fear of youkai that is still deep down inside me. True I am not afraid of all youkai, but ones like this bear one, I am. I just freeze up every time one says it wants to eat me or at the site of blood. So this was the worst possible situation for me.
'Never trust a youkai. If you do, you'll die.'
The youkai continued to bite into my arm, while I just stayed frozen in fear.
'Onee-san!' I heard in my head. That's when Yuri appeared in my head. 'That's right I swore I'd protect her. I can't die yet. I can't. I am a Muttsu Hogosha. I have to protect everyone at the school and everyone I love.' I thought with new found courage and determination. I reached down with my other arm and grabbed hold of Artimist.
"Get the hell off me!" I shouted before Artimist began to light up in a bright purple. "Tenpi Kizu Yaiba!!" I shouted. There was a bright flash before the youkai exploded. I lied on the ground panting, holding onto Artimist tightly and staring up at the sky. My vision became blurry and I knew I was going to faint from blood loss. The last thing I saw before everything went black, was two gold eyes.
